Motorola Solutions intros APX 7000L multi-band portable radio with LTE

SCHAUMBURG, USA: Motorola Solutions Inc. introduced the latest offering in its series of APX Series Project 25 (P25) Two-Way Radios: the APX 7000L Multi-Band Portable Radio with LTE, which was specifically designed to meet the evolving technical and challenging deployment needs of US federal law enforcement.

The APX 7000L operates on both Long Term Evolution (4G LTE) mobile broadband and Land Mobile Radio (LMR) networks, delivering fast and efficient data operation combined with mission critical LMR voice connectivity across the nation.

Using 4G LTE, the APX 7000L transmits and receives data, such as Over-the-Air Programming (OTAP) and Over-the-Air Rekeying (OTAR), faster than with standard LMR technology. For instance, a 3 MB file can be sent in 12 seconds over a 4G LTE network, compared to several minutes on portable radios that do not use 4G LTE technology.

In addition, confirmation is sent back to the operations center after the over-the-air data has been delivered and installed. And with the APX 7000L's separate 4G LTE and LMR modes, agents can receive the data while simultaneously using the LMR voice channel.
